East Georgia Regional Medical Center is proud to announce that Angela Hammond, RN, Cardiac Rehab Program Coordinator, has been honored with the prestigious DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. The DAISY Award is an international recognition program that celebrates the skillful and compassionate care nurses provide every day.
Angela was nominated by multiple patients who praised her exemplary care, kindness, and thoughtfulness during their recovery journeys in the hospital’s cardiac rehabilitation program.
One patient shared:
“The cardiac rehab program administered by Angela was truly a positive and welcoming place following such a traumatic event in my life. Beginning with a friendly greeting and thorough consultation, Angela explained the program, answered all of my questions, and created a recovery plan tailored to my needs after open-heart surgery. She encouraged me every step of the way, and her kindness, expertise, and support made all the difference in my successful recovery. The other patients often commented on how much they appreciated Angela and her staff for making rehab a place we actually look forward to attending.”
Another patient described Angela as:
“Professional in her work, with a good personality, easy to work with, pleasant, full of good spirit, and God-fearing.”
Angela’s leadership has made the Cardiac Rehab Program not only a place of healing but also of community and encouragement for patients facing some of life’s most challenging health experiences.
“Angela is a shining example of our mission in action: safe and compassionate care for every patient, every time, always,” said Marie Burdett, Chief Nursing Officer. “She goes beyond simply delivering care, she builds relationships, provides encouragement, and makes sure each patient feels valued, supported, and safe during recovery.”
Stephen Pennington, Chief Executive Officer, added, “Angela’s compassion, dedication, and clinical excellence reflect the very best of East Georgia Regional Medical Center. She embodies our hospital’s promise of Every Patient, Every Time, Always, and we are so proud to honor her with the DAISY Award.
The DAISY Award was established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died from complications of an autoimmune disease. His family created the award to honor the exceptional care and compassion nurses provide to patients and families every day.
East Georgia Regional Medical Center is honored to recognize Angela Hammond for her outstanding dedication to medical patient care and her commitment to making a difference in the lives of those she serves.
